It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released.

Stop the shutdown - release the files!

Jordy: Republicans control every branch of government. Every day that passes with the gov shut down is another reminder that Trump and the GOP would rather protect pedos than ensure people have health care. Because once the government reopens, you know what’s coming—a vote on the Epstein files.

The Washington Post: “Trump administration begins laying off federal workers amid shutdown.”

Donald Trump's reckless and cruel leadership has pushed families to the brink.

While he uses shutdowns to scapegoat workers, California is stepping up by providing 248,000 federal workers with critical state protections and relief.

We don’t treat public servants as pawns.

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

I do not feel like the American public has the humility or disposition to atone for the sins this administration is committing - given that we have failed at reconstruction & desegregation.

But there are too many people “just following orders” that they know are wrong, I don’t know how we move on.

Republican Voter: I am begging you to pass this legislation. My kids could die. We don't have the credit because of the medical bills that I have to pay regularly. You could stop this...the audacity of someone who makes 6 figures a year to do this to military families is insane.

Health care premiums are spiking across the country 📈

This plan for a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 in Fulton County, Georgia, will cost $2,064 MORE PER MONTH in 2026 than a very similar plan in 2025. 💸

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in.

Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol.

It's like his work never happened.

So if anti-fascists are Trump’s political enemies, what does that make Trump?

🚨BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna just motioned to SUBPOENA FCC chairman Brendan Carr in the House Oversight Committee to stop the intimidation of private businesses and assault on free speech

Overheard during discussion of Trump's impact on world: "It's a terrible time to be born. But a great time to die."

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

I know little about Charlie Kirk. Never paid attention to his dark, inane posts.
But I am appalled at his death.
Politics has been pushed to the point where extremist language leads to violence.
In a democracy there is no justification for the murder of a man over ideas.
This is a wake up call.

We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today. Charlie Kirk’s murder is sick and reprehensible, and our thoughts are with his family, children, and loved ones.

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.
